I just registered here. I'm a long-time stillwater float tuber. I currently have my first tube, a very old Browning Predator, my favorite tube, an Outcast FatCat, and a backpacking tube, a Wilderness Lite Backpacker Pro.
I keep the old Browning around as a loaner. I have yet to use my Backpacker Pro other than a short test. I hope to do some hiking to the ponds with it this spring. The Browning and the Outcast were both chosen due to their capacity. I'm 6'2" and 250lbs.
I really enjoy my Outcast, but wish I had something that could cover more distance easier and still fit in my Subaru Forester. I started looking at the Outcast Stealth Pro and the OSG Commander, the the Scadden Assault XR and Zonker Lo Pro.
I realized I don't know the intended preferred uses for the open-front vs. enclosed hull craft. Is one designed for moving water and one for still water, or is it just a preference thing?
Thanks for any insights on design types and brands/models I hadn't considered.
